Early troponin T and prediction of potentially correctable in-hospital complications after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.

Early troponin T and prediction of potentially correctable in-hospital complications after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.

BACKGROUND: Peak levels of troponin T (TnT) reliably predict morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. However, the therapeutic window to manage CABG-related in-hospital complications may close before the peak is reached. We investigated whether early TnT levels correlate as well with complicat...
